Griesheim,
Germany

Long distance efficiency

Griesheim is a rural area in central Germany, and planned to use the waste heat from a biogas plant to supply scattered farms, removed far away from the village. Efficiency over such long distances was a crucial challenge.

In Griesheim, the waste heat from the biogas plant is used to supply 9 farms which are far away from the village, and far away from each other. This project was subsidized by the county Hessen to enhance the use of clean, sustainable energy.

Details

A wide range dimensions of the Flexalen pipe system were used to fulfill each single need with best efficiency, including single and double pipe technologies.

Goals

Creating a reliable heating supply for farms outside Worms’ (village) heating network. So the special challenge was to overcome long distances in an effective, easy and sustainable manner.

Results

All 9 scattered farms are now supplied safely, effiently, and sustainably with clean waste-heat from the biogas plant. Cheap, local independent supply secured for decades to come!
